The widespread use of landmines in conflict situations around the world and their continuing legacy for the civilian population in injuries, amputations, disabilities and economic costs has been recognized as a major problem. However, the psychosocial consequences for landmine victims are still to be realized. Although there are some facilities for the medical, orthopaedic and long-term rehabilitative care of landmine victims, hardly any exist for their psychosocial needs. This study considers the mental costs in terms of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. Individual difficulty in relationships and daily functioning is considerable, and the landmine victim faces social stigmatization, rejection and unemployment. Suggestions are made for brief training in relatively simple mental health care for staff working in already functioning programmes.
地雷在世界各地冲突局势中的广泛使用及其给平民带来的持续伤害，包括受伤、截肢、残疾和经济损失，已被公认为一个重大问题。然而，地雷受害者的心理社会后果仍未得到充分认识。虽然有一些为地雷受害者提供医疗、矫形和长期康复护理的设施，但几乎没有满足他们心理社会需求的设施。本研究考虑了创伤后应激障碍、抑郁和焦虑方面的精神代价。个人在人际关系和日常功能方面存在相当大的困难，地雷受害者面临社会污名化、排斥和失业。针对在现有运作项目中工作的人员，提出了关于相对简单的心理健康护理简短培训的建议。
